1. Putting Black Water goons in? This shouldn't be allowed, if true. Democrats need to make noise

about this.

3. Agree. I still haven't been able to find any reliable MSM coverage of this.

So far just some speculation from a RW propaganda site guessing that this is Trump punishing the SS for not doing more, sooner, about the SS agent who said she wouldn't take a bullet for DT. That RW site had no source for its speculation.

is on a tear

5. Night of the Long Knives?

6. yeah, my first thought was- and so it begins?

7. Yup. Trump is starting to consolidate his power by

eliminating those in government who oppose him. The script is being played as written.

8. Reichstag up next. I predict it will conveniently be "perpetrated" by a "refugee". n/t

[tibbiit]

9. Are they looking for the leakers?

Maybe rogue@whitehouse is secret service?

(and all the other things too! Reichstag, leaker, blackwater, drunken bannon = all true at the same time)
